Okay, I'm going to word vomit a bit on the timeline. The current state of NA VALORANT below the Tier 1 level is in an absolutely terrible place. Tier 2 was fundamentally killed when Riot introduced the franchise system without providing hands-on support for the Challengers League or offering proper financial aid to the orgs willing to invest in it and help grow and support our future players and teams.
It's honestly not surprising that match-fixing for money eventually happened. These players are putting in all their time and energy to become the best, chasing their dream of making it big and joining a Tier 1 team. When that hope is lost, people may resort to accepting money to throw matches — and to be honest, that kind of money could be life-changing for them.
I think one thing Riot failed to consider is that Tier 2 is a crucial pillar of support for Tier 1 play. It's incredibly exciting to see new underdog teams and rising talent perform on the big stage — it often makes for some of the most competitive and thrilling esports moments of all time. When that pillar starts to crumble, there's a very real risk the entire structure could collapse.
It's genuinely depressing and disappointing to see Riot mishandle a game I truly love and care about (even if I criticize it a lot). I hope they come to realize that they need to support the entire competitive ecosystem — not just the very top.
Lastly, streaming the game and trying to create content around ranked has been a nightmare. Every streamer constantly getting stream-sniped, which forces people to delay stream and ultimately kill chat interaction. Matches are being thrown — again — either for money or to help others climb and reach high spots on the competitive leaderboard, even though it’s ultimately pointless.
The incentive to play ranked has remained the exact same since the game launched. A lot of ranked players aren't excited to play — they're just addicted, queuing up and chasing the feeling the game gave them long ago. There have been no exciting new rewards for reaching the top, and no new game modes that allow for fun, expressive content to be created.
I'm still pretty heated as I write this. I just want what’s best for the game — both at the top and everything beneath it. We, the players, need to see action — not just words. Thanks for coming to my TED talk, and I'm super excited to receive my 10th Radiant gun buddy.

ये सिर्फ दिखावे के लिए अध्यात्मिक का ढोंग करता है, असल में ये विक्षिप्त मानसिक रोगी है जो अपने माता-पिता को सम्बन्ध बनाते हुए देखता है, इस का असल मकसद हमारे बच्चों और युवाओं को विक्षिप्त मानसिक रोगी बनाना है... Unfollow him immediately
What blunder done by @BehrouzBiryani@zomato I received non-veg on veg sticker and vice versa. And was consumed by my mom who is a vegetarian person. This is a disgusting mistake………
Thankyou for this @peepoye_ especially for pointing out her dress
This mentally bankrupt Charu Sharma didn't go to this debate to either talk about women or men. She went there to do fashion parade. Her Instagram feed had poses from a set where a death was discussed 🤮

Subject: A Citizen’s Plea to Investigate Judicial Corruption in the Case of Late Atul Subhash
Dear Narendra Modi Ji,
With utmost respect and unwavering faith in your leadership, I, an ordinary citizen of India, write to you on behalf of millions who trust in your resolve to uphold justice and equality in our great nation. Today, I pen this letter not as a mere observer but as someone echoing the voice of a late husband, a late son, and a fellow Indian—Late Atul Subhash.
Atul Subhash, before his untimely demise, courageously left behind a 40-page suicide note and a video, detailing grave allegations of corruption, bribery, and harassment against Sm. Reeta Kaushik, Principal Judge of the Family Court in Allahabad. These allegations, if true, reflect a systemic rot that undermines the very fabric of our judiciary, the pillar of justice in our democracy.
In his final words, Atul laid bare the practices of bribery and coercion he faced in his legal battle. Despite naming the accused individuals, including Sm. Reeta Kaushik, the FIR registered in Bengaluru notably omits her name. This glaring omission raises questions about accountability and the impartiality of our legal system. While public pressure is rightly being placed on Accenture and the Bengaluru Police to ensure swift action against his wife, Nikita Singhania (निकिता सिंघानिया), the allegations against Sm. Reeta Kaushik demand immediate and unbiased investigation.
Sir, as citizens, we deeply value the strides made under your leadership, especially in empowering women and ensuring gender equality. However, this empowerment should never shield individuals from accountability. No one, regardless of gender or position, should be above the law. Justice must be impartial, transparent, and swift.
As a creator and social awareness advocate, I have seen firsthand how public sentiment can be a catalyst for change. I urge you to take cognizance of this case and initiate a thorough investigation into the allegations against Sm. Reeta Kaushik. This action would not only restore faith in our judiciary but also serve as a strong message to anyone attempting to misuse their position of power.
Late Atul Subhash’s note is not just his story—it is a call for systemic reform. It highlights the struggles of countless others who lose hope in the face of an unresponsive and biased judicial system. Let his sacrifice not go in vain.
Your intervention in this matter would resonate deeply with every citizen who dreams of an India where justice is not a privilege but a right.
With the utmost hope and respect,
Yours Sincerely,
Akassh Ashok Gupta

Dear @Accenture @AccentureIndia,
Did your employee Nikita Singhania’s salary, who is an AI Engineering consultant with you at Accenture, fall so short that she resorted to blackmailing her husband for money? Or is it that Accenture’s training programs don’t equip employees like her to stand on their own feet, forcing them to misuse marital laws for financial gain?
As per #AtulSubhash’s suicide note and final video, Nikita and her family allegedly:
1. Filed multiple false cases against him (dowry, unnatural sex, domestic violence, murder, etc.).
2. Alienated him from his 2.5-year-old son.
3. Demanded ₹80,000/month as maintenance and ₹3 crore as alimony, despite Nikita reportedly earning well.
@AccentureIndia, with these serious allegations, what steps are you taking? Will you suspend her pending investigation? The nation demands accountability and #JusticeForAtulSubhash.
